They're just heavy cardboard. Not exactly cheap, but they really make toy photography less about set construction (which I appreciate) and more about trying to tell a story. The 1:12 sets are friggin' massive.... I have 11 of them, and it's a good thing you can disassemble and flatten them...

That particular one is the Extreme Sets Cabin. I like it because it has a useful interior and exterior. Cabin Pop-Up Diorama 1/12 – Extreme-Sets

Is it bad that I'm more jealous of all that display space than I am the actual setup?

I could see this line giving us some characters hasbro might never get to, and that would be cool. Imagine a Mezco Chuckles with an actual Hawaiian shirt! It would be the one time cloth would be welcomed. Sadly, they'll probably quickly fall into the Duke/SE/CC/SS spiral of boredom that every...

I've always had an anti-cloth stance on my figures. I agree it never looks 100% right. Yet I find these joes uniquely compelling in spite of the doll clothes. The attempts to appeal to ARAH purists and modernists, all the extra portraits, hands, and gear make these appealing to me. I...

Mezco 1:12 Roadblock just went up for sale yesterday, exclusive to their website. He looks solid. Includes gear to give him a v1 or v2 look (the v2 vest would appeal to the modernists amongst us), three heads, lots of hands. Roadblock isn't my favorite Joe character, but I already have Mezco...

That Zartan is likely the "SDCC-at-home" or "pulsecon" exclusive. Nice wad of accessories he comes with, even masks for Hard and Soft Masters.

Hahahaha. Very nice. One of us. One of us. One of us. :fuckit:

Over the last couple of years, I amassed several of the Extreme Set pop-up dioramas, but I never had the space or time to build them or take some pics. But on this fine Father's Day weekend, I remedied that to a small degree. I built the cabin which is cool b/c you can use the interior and/or...

I agree that retro LJ is pretty "meh", but retro Scarlett is better IMO. They gave her more baggy utility pants rather than a skin-tight leotard thing, but it's the best face sculpt she's ever had on any figure hand's down. Many people agree and are buying extras so they can use the head with...

pcs, that's great. I'm glad he's hooking you up. How is garrison these days? Dan, I think it was a combination of target offering more for PO and limiting to 1/each per account. Either way, I'm happy that Joe seems to be getting into more hands at reasonable prices and less going to...

Is it me, or did they sculpt Breaker's face to look just like Bradley Cooper? If it's any consolation, the sheer numbers they had up for preorders suggest Target increased their buy from hasbro by a couple of orders of magnitude over previous CI exclusives. So hopefully they'll be...

It makes a huge improvement in the appearance of the figure IMO, and if you're careful to attach the straps to just the lower part of the torso, you can actually regain use of the ab crunch.

Well the nice part is that the POs managed to last longer than 4.2 seconds, which is a major improvement. If all target exclusives were available for hours/days, I think most people would find that acceptable. TBH, I'm far more interested in Breaker than the previous CI exclusives, but I'm a...

Yeah, I got '83 mail-away Duke too, but I didn't have OG Hawk until a few years later when I bought him and the MMS off a friend who had moved on from Joe. I don't recall who was in charge pre-Duke, probably Stalker. But when Flint and Hawk came along, Duke was relegated to the team that was...

Duke as a figure and a character were always subordinate to Hawk and Flint in my world. I agree, he's kind of boring and self-righteous. I prefer Flint being a bit more laid back, funny, and charming as a field commander, and Hawk's always going to be the boss. Scarlett's base layer in...

This line has so much potential, and a little paint really brings out how great they really could be from the outset.

Yeah, now that we have commando SE, Breaker, Flint, and LJ ...my biggest wants are the rest of the original 13 greenies, plus Dusty, Ace, & Ripcord. I would have to change my pants if they put them on retro '82-'85 cards. Excellent. It's a truly impressive sculpt. In reality, pretty much...

Eh, I think the wolf has value, and the figure body is substantially different than the original release. I was not a fan of the ninja look, especially the little footie pajamas with the camel toe feet (ugh). The visor head was the most redeeming feature of the 1st release, but the commando...
